A two-week trial in Manukau District Court started today, 40 years after Thomas was released from prison and compensated with nearly $1 million.
Thomas, now 83, faces one charge of rape and four charges of indecent assault, relating to two complainants, which he strongly denies.
Thomas story is one of the most extraordinary legal chapters in New Zealand history.
An innocent man subjected to a near decade-long prison sentence in large part because police officers planted evidence - a spent bullet casing matching Thomas gun - at the Crewes house.
Now, 40 years after a Royal Commission cleared him and he walked out of prison a free man, he is being tried again under the same Coat of Arms.
